I looked online but I could not get a clear answer.
Would I get a 503 Service Unavailable, because the DNS is still running but the web server is down? Or something else.

Receiving a 408 error, or any HTTP error for that matter, would require a valid connection to the server. Since in your example the server is offline, the request would time out and a socket would never be created.
